Hello everybody!

Hello everybody. I have just joined Team Treehouse. I am from the UK and my main aim is to be a freelance web developer remotely so i can be location independent. If anyone has achieved this themselves I would love to hear some advice if you have the time, It would be greatly appreciated! I have been learning on codecademy but I have found it frustrating at best. I have been using it for 1 month now and I find I have more questions then answers. Has anyone else had this issue?

Anyway, very nice to meet you all! Paul.

I am learning from TeamTreeHouse for 3 months , I found their learning material very helpful. The way they have organized it step by step to the end of the Track it's good effort. I can find most of questions solved through previous users. Again its not easy, very challenging you need alot of practice to complete these tracks.

I think the only way to get the answers to your questions (besides posting to the Treehouse Community) is to practice. This will be in the form of code challenges and practice with your own projects.

Go and type code and don't be afraid to break it :)

When i first started learning a month ago, i won't lie, it was daunting! But I have stayed persistent with it and now I am starting to recognize many aspects of coding. I think you are 100% right, you have to keep at it and learn from you're mistakes! Thank you for your comments!
